I Interfaced my LD2410B to the ESP32 NodeMcu Development Board WROOM 32 30 pinsDual Core WLAN WiFi Bluetooth module. This has a micro USB socket. Also has 5v and Ground pins on board enabling connection to power the LD2410B. This increases the range of the LD2410B considerably using the boards WiFi and BLE in combination with the HA ESPhome integration.

I've also had connectivity issues with both sensors. It may be useful for other people to maybe include in the article how to use them through the esp Bluetooth proxy. I found that this makes them 100% reliable. I'd be happy to help with some troubleshooting of the esp method if needed

How does this work? I'm new to DIY sensors

Did you ever compare the LD2410 to RCWL-0516 micro wave radar sensors? Of course the RCWL-0516 uses a GPIO pin on the microcontroller which could be changed by putting a MCP23016 between the sensor(s) and the microcontroller. I do not have enough experience with both to determine which one is better. I only saw that the price for the LD2410 is 3EUR and the RCWL below1 EUR per piece.

Is there someway to get presence detecting speed faster in home assistant? My setup is ld2410c attached on esp32 so it’s working ovet Wi-Fi .

I found that when using a bluetooth proxy device the LD2410 any FW and any version of the sensor LD2410A, B has intermittent connectivity. My HA server is to far away without bluetooth proxy to work. This is a known problem, but no fix as of this date. Instead i use a ESP32 and ESPHome to connect this sensor.

I've installed two of the C versions a few weeks ago and I love them. I've 10 more on it's way. I can't find the radar tool on my playstore. How can I download it?

Just had sloom at the LD2420 module might be interesting, what do you think?

It appears that the LD2410B doesn't play well with fans, even if the fan is outside the documented 60˚ cone of detection. I have an LD2410B on the ceiling, with fan blades as close as 0.8m away and at the same height. The sensor shows a moving target peaking at about 4m away (that would be the same distance as a bounce back off the tile floor, though I have no idea if this is related), and a strong static target across the full range of 1.5m to 6m. This makes it impossible to filter out the fan. I guess then I won't be using any of these, since we have ceiling fans in every room of the house (we're in the tropics). I imagine the fans would light up any curtains too, or what about wind on curtains?

What type of power supply do you used? My sensor with esp32 work only with 5v 3a supply, I try 3 different supplys. Only the 3a is working.

If my HLK is already transmitting to HA just fine. Can the app find it? Or do I need to do something to make it available to the app?

Thanks for your videos. Can this sensor count persons? I need a sensor to know how many persons there are in a car any idea>?

Hi Kirill, thank you! I have considerable space here. What do you think about using Esp8266 instead of the bluetooth connection or is it better to create an Esp with Bluetooth proxy?

@KPeyanski

Both options are OK and they will work great in my humble opinion...

you can also conect it to a esp32 with wifi trough esphome and ad it that way to home asistent

ommunity please help, i have momentary rocker switches, with every push they pass thru 24v to an relay. (push on push off). I can't find any solution to make this work with zigbee. crucial I remain the original switches and the control via HomeAssistant. help thanks!

This process works BUT a big problem that this sensor has with HA is that it gets disconnected with bluetooth. It is very unstable and requires a full reboot of HA before it connect again. To fix this, you can connect the pins from the LD2410 to the esp32 board. Then you are not counting on the unstable bluetooth of the LD2410 but the bluetooth of the esp32 board. The rest of the process with HA is pretty much as describe in this video. Another plus of connecting the two board together is that you will be using the USB power of the esp32 board to power both boards

The wires are a regular USB cable that you have to cut in the middle and then to use only the red & black wire that the regular USB cable have

I have 4 of these sensors. When they work, they work fine. All of them are very close to either my HA system or a bluetooth proxy. However, all of them may randomly get stuck in either Detected or Not Detected states, and only a reload of the sensor and sometimes a full HA restart solves the problem. Having them so close to a bluetooth proxy (30-40 cm), I don't think connectivity is the problem.

SMH. Educate yourself a little more please before posting nonsense on the internet. Hint: Look into power level. Radiation is not dangerous in and of itself. It’s the level or power of the radiation that determines how bad it is. Just like everything, sugar is good in small doses but a large dose will kill you. Should we stop using sugar? Do you go in the sun at all? That has much more radiation power than the 2.4ghz that you are worried about. Do you want to turn off the sun or wrap yourself in tinfoil?
